Bibliographer's Guide

Updates

  • We are making every effort NOT to cut journal packages or heavily used databases at this time. (Wiley, Springer, Sage Journals, Nature Journals, Taylor&Francis, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, ERIC, etc.)
  • Streaming licenses: we must discontinue purchasing any steaming video licenses at this time. This includes Kanopy streaming licenses.
  • We do have a small fund for faculty book requests. 
  • We are in talks with Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries as well as vendors EBSCO and ProQuest for savings options on subscriptions.
